Parking: Do NOT Park on the road adjacent to the park-you will get a parking ticket. Please park on the east or west side of Aborezk Law Firm, or at Founders Park.

We need volunteers of all ages and abilities. Stop by for 15 minutes or 3 hours-bring your bike and give the log rides, pump tracks, and jumps a try during breaks and post work. Gloves and eye protection are recommended-along with helmet, knee/shin and elbow pads if riding. Shovels, rakes, are available at the site. Beverages and snacks will be provided. The area is in good shape considering the rain and flooding. Tasks will include shaping jumps, cleaning up the area of debris, and a bit of landscaping. Keep an eye on here for changes (for example rain) Thank you.

Ridge Riders of the Black Hills are again hosting the Tinton Trail Time Trials June 21-22. The event includes a Hill Climb, Super D race, and more. Full information on the event is found on the Ridge Riders’ website.

Despite some seriously soggy conditions the XC race went on as scheduled. A large group camped out at Dalton Lake the night before and had a great time. The weather Sunday was very nice for racing as well. Results for this race and for the earlier race at Rockerville can be found on the results page.

Thanks to all who helped put on the race and those who came out to ride. We hope to have pre-registration available online soon for the point-to-point race from Elk Creek to Alkali. Check back here for more info.

Freeride Friday is canceled due to that little bit of extra moisture we’ve received over the last week or so. If the weather continues to be a problem we’ll start holding kayak races in the dirt jump park.

Terry Peak will be hosting the 2008 Mountain Festival July 26th and 27th at Nevada Gulch Base, Terry Peak, SD (near Lead). The event includes downhill and XC races as well as live music, hiking, and more. Check out the website for more info.
